AT least 20 policemen were posted to protect the service. The gathering mob dissipated in face of certain arrest.
The wisdom was to have the dedication service this morning instead of the announced time this evening when the government official will be present. There will be a service this evening but I will not be present.
Beautiful building; Beautiful dedication service; beautiful faith-filled people.
I spoke and led the dedicatory prayer. I sensed Jesus asking the people to “prepare a place for Him”: full of faith, full of love, full of prayer for all peoples and a place where healing is expected.
Dozens requested healing prayer at the end of the service.
This afternoon I will drive five hours to Cochin for my flight back to Dulles early tomorrow morning.
Praise be to God for His mercies which are new every day and for every situation.
